Slaver looks good.

Man I wish I had time to paint ALL the new Necromunda stuff... Oh, to be back in high school and college with no kids or real responsibilities again!

I understand your sentiment but I was broke then so I would only watch anyway

And To be honest judging from the previous reveals it will take ages to see anything from this




Another Squat though (unless despite what text says just Goliath baby

My golden period was when I was working two jobs between undergrad and grad school, one job supplied my hobby money. I had full fleets with all options for the main four Battlefleet Gothic factions at one point, and that was just for that game How I had time to game... I don't know but I did

I love these new reveals, very cool.

Genestealer Cults stuff up for pre-order link

The bikes and buggy are £32.50 for 5, which is very reasonable. To add the sniper bloke on one of the same bikes is another £22.50   

Some very useful figures in the release, I can see my first GW purchases this year in the near future

The one with wings looks like a yeld spyrer.

[mcfonz]

It does, but it's not.

I believe they confirmed before that Spirers wouldn't be returning.

This is going to be one of the personae dramatica or whatever they call them - a character that you can hire. He's ex Van Saar.

Still cool to see Spyrers in one form or another. They were over powered in the original I hear (Never played them although collected them)

I wouldn't say they were overpowered to such a degree that they were unbeatable but it was like playing the game on easy mode.

What was unbeatable at least in my local meta were 20-30 man Scavvies Gangs that would to avoid worrying about starvation would just buy a Scavvy at the end of the game to put in the cookpot.

How does the necromunda stuff scale with 40k , is it bigger??

[Chico]

OMG... this just made me happy:



Mixed Skaven are now back, yes-yes! Along with the new Ratty we already seen are scenery, dice and Endless Spells.



The other previewed stuff is good too I guess...

Anything you want to see compared in particular? I may have an example.

If anything, proportions have changed on the Necro plastics- the heads have gotten smaller (particularly the Escher) but are more in proportion with the overall body length.

[AWu]

Agree
Ask a specific question

I might show you all gangs compared to certain miniatures but I am not too recent on 40k.

gangs are quite differently sized
Van Sarar are smaller, Goliath are giant and Escher are very tall

I have some of all that, I'll see what I can pop together.
